A New Introduction to Japanese Horror TV
In an exciting blend of horror and entertainment, the show "Reform Horror House" is set to debut on MBS on August 8 and August 15 at 24:43 JST. This innovative program is brought to you by the well-known horror creative company Yami, in collaboration with celebrated haunted house producer Hirobumi Gomi. The project marks Yami's first venture into the realm of television variety shows, promising viewers an extraordinary experience.
The story revolves around a rumored cursed house, where a tragic incident involving a family has led to a series of mysterious deaths. The unsettling atmosphere has discouraged anyone from approaching the house, fueling tales of the supernatural among villagers. Entering this eerie abode are comedian Nadal, from the group Korokoro Chiki Chiki Peppers, and Annna Murashige, who aim to unravel the secrets of the house while confronting its dark history.
As the house is renovated and transformed into a horror-themed environment, viewers will witness the duo's efforts to break the curse inflicted upon the house. Described as a space filled with unsettling elements—such as bloodstains on the floor and an impenetrable upstairs—this experience promises to deliver thrills and chills to the audience.
A Unique Viewing Experience
The format of the show keeps audiences actively engaged. In the first week, viewers can join the studio team, including MC Masaki Kasamatsu, comedian Tetsuya Morita, and guest Naena No, in unraveling the mysteries presented in video segments. As they watch Nadal and Anana's experiences, the audience is encouraged to participate on social media by sharing their theories and clues.
Following the first episode, the second week will feature a special edited version entitled "Reform Horror House Complete Edition," where Hirobumi Gomi will offer insights and analyses of the haunted house's narrative. This combination of horror and problem-solving not only elevates the entertainment value but also engages viewers’ intellectual curiosity.
The Haunted House
The house at the heart of the story is nestled in a remote part of Japan, overgrown with grass and forgotten by time. Once home to a family comprising a mother, father, their only daughter, and the maternal grandmother, the house transformed into a site of tragedy due to the father’s mysterious disappearance and the grandmother's subsequent death. Following these events, the mother descended into madness and channeled her dysfunctional love onto her surviving daughter, leading to devastating occurrences.
From paranormal phenomena to unsettling occurrences, the house has long been avoided by locals, especially as tales of the upstairs' strong lingering resentments spread. As Nadal and Annana courageously step inside to confront these dark legends, the brave viewers will be left wondering if they can find the strength to do the same.
Expert Insights
After the filming wrapped, the cast shared their thoughts on the journey. According to Naena, the production tested their mental acuity with unique hints, while Morita reflected on how unexpected interpretations kept the crew engaged in discussions. Kasamatsu expressed excitement at the prospect of fans sharing their predictions online after each episode, calling out to viewers to enjoy the guessing game, musings, and camaraderie it cultivates.
